FACILITY HOURS
* Fall 2011 facility hours will begin on Thursday, August 25th: http://recreation.gocrimson.com/recreation/hours
* Members, in order to accommodate the varsity water polo program, the MAC Pool will be open from 7:30am-5:30pm on Wednesdays and Fridays starting the week of August 29. To compensate for opening later than usual, we hope that the extra half-hour at the end of the day will give members the opportunity to have an afternoon or after work swim. We understand this is a vast change from the operating hours for many years, and we hope that the change will be met with patience and understanding. Please contact Justin at justinwright(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:justinwright@fas.harvard.edu> for all pool related inquiries.
